"Joining the family business has never been a discussion in our household. We have always listened and encouraged our children to pursue their own passions, whatever that may be. We encourage them to spend time doing what they love now as these opportunities will eventually lead into an emotional rewarding career. It is important for us to remind them that pursuing something that you are passionate about does not always lead to fame and fortune, but it will always lead to happiness."
